48. 'Snow White and Blood Red' was banned not because it was bad
"How's the recruitment going?"
"Bingshuo area is okay, but in other places, to be honest, people are not very motivated to join the army. Dingdian Novel,"
"There is nothing we can do about this. After all, even places like the four counties in Hexi, where we have penetrated deeply, are still quite suspicious of us. Moreover, although the population there is large, most of them are Qiang and Hu, who are unruly and unruly. Because they have been oppressed by officials for decades, they have always been suspicious of the Han people. If we want to eliminate them once, it can only be a dream."
"It's just that the recently demoted generals Cheng Yin, Ma Wan and others seem to be recruiting troops secretly, which makes people feel a little uneasy."
"There was only Han Siam before, and now Cheng Yin has come out. There are always some people who can't see the situation clearly."
"Actually, my lord, there is no need to worry. The existence of such people is not entirely a bad thing."
"Wenhe, what you mean is..."
"That's right. Maybe these people are not enough to attract too much attention, but they can still help us uncover some hidden elements with double-minded intentions. On the one hand, we can stabilize the local situation, and on the other hand, those powerful people in the northwest are much more powerful. The Qiang and Hu are unruly, and the Qiang and Hu are suspicious and fearful. If they can show enough strength and affinity when suppressing the rebellion, it will also be beneficial to our future work. It will also allow those who secretly obstruct the implementation of our policies to think clearly about certain things. Consequences of actions.”
"If there is a need to quell the rebellion, I hope to send Yun Chang to lead the troops."
"My lord, do you think General Guan is ready for use?"
"Yun Chang is not stupid, but he was blinded by his excessive arrogance before. A previous defeat was enough for him to realize his previous problems. Anyway, it is not like there is no one available if Bingzhou Army leaves him. If he joins, there will be problems. , beating and beating is enough.”
"Then my subordinates will prepare according to the master's ideas."
"This will probably be a war that is divided into three parts combat and seven parts politics."
The winter in Xiliang is always more cold and manic than in Bingzhou. The cold current from Siberia crosses Wusun and the Western Regions and advances along the Hexi Corridor with almost no obstacles, unlike Bingzhou, unless The border fortress in the distance, otherwise Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain are like two barriers, helping the counties in Bingzhou withstand a lot of the power of the cold wave.
"Haha, it snowed well this year. It looks like next year will be a good year."
As soon as I opened the door curtain, I felt a biting cold air blowing straight in from the outside, which caused the heat in the tent that was originally maintained by the stove to dissipate. The feeling from warm to severe cold made people couldn't help but hit it a few times. sneeze.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly. I have been burning for more than an hour to finally gather so much heat. If you come here like this, all of it will be gone. Or are you, you bastard, planning to freeze me to death?" You can swallow up my troops."
"Hey, hey, hey, you've been roasting here for a long time, and I've been freezing outside for a long time. If I die, I'll die first."
"We've already come to this point, why are you still working so hard for that guy? In this weather, just do patrols or something like that."
"That's what I said, but I always feel that if I really think so and do this, then I will have such thoughts when doing other things in the future. We are all people who have fought in old wars, and we all know What are the consequences of such an idea?"
"You're a fool, are you saying that I'm slacking off? You'll have to punish yourself three times later."
"Okay, okay, my fault. It's my fault."
"It's a pity that everyone in the world says that Li Xue is good at understanding people and discovering countless capable people, but they can't see that our General Ma is the real talent. Instead, I got a big advantage. Such a good thing for us
I won’t be able to come back until I’m drunk later.”
"What a great idea. You won't come home until you're drunk! Let that Li Xue cry!"
After saying that, regardless of the fact that the two of them were actually in the military camp, and they had not yet ordered the cooks in the military camp to do anything, they picked up the skin bag they carried with them and poured it up, and then put down the skin bag at the same moment and filled it.
Turning it over, the entire skin was empty except for a few drops of residual liquid, but the faces of the two big men still did not change color.
"It's so happy, it's so happy, it's so happy!"
"That's right, have fun! Come on, roast me some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. I want to get drunk with General Ma!"
"General Cheng, please!" "General Ma, please!"
So, this time, two people with the same destiny started another drinking trip in Cheng Yin's camp.
Two years have passed. If we want to say who benefited the most from Li Shushi's Guanzhong expedition, it is really difficult to say accurately except Li Shushi. After all, there is obviously more than one person who benefited, and it may take a very precise calculation.
The distinction is clear, but that would be too boring, and no one would go to that step. After all, such an approach would be too unpleasant.
Sometimes it's better to just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and it almost doesn't matter at all.
But if there is anyone who suffered the most serious damage in this war, at least now it seems that it should be regarded as the Hongnong Yang family. After all, Yang Biao, who was in his prime, had to go far away to express his respect to Li Shushi.
Daijun is a bitter and cold place. If you can sit there peacefully for two or three years, even if you don't return to the center, you can accept the position of governor.
It is a pity that Yang Biao died. Although it sounds like he died in battle, for the Guanzhong family, which did not have a close and harmonious relationship with Li Shushi, they felt that Yang Biao's death was caused by Li Shushi's constant pressure.
.
If this statement is reasonable, it is somewhat far-fetched, but if it is unreasonable, the reputation is slightly worse in comparison. However, because of the marriage relationship with Li Shushi, he got Henan County, even if it is a mess, there is not much risk.
It is one of the best places in the two capitals, and even though Li Shushi has not made any great achievements in the past two years, he does not criticize it too harshly.
So I am afraid of comparison when it comes to this matter. Once compared, happiness will easily drop.
However, if we say that the Yang family of Hongnong is completely the loser in this change of times, then this conclusion is somewhat premature, because although Yang Biao died, his son Yang Xiu was highly valued by Li Shushi, not only in the staff department
He reserved a place for the other party, and allowed him to participate in Su Xiaololi's "training classes" from time to time. He was also given a small stove and so on.
This is naturally a very honorable thing. Let’s not talk about whether Su Xiaoluoli’s knowledge can be recognized by everyone. Just say that the people who came out of Su Xiaoluoli’s “training class” where outsiders don’t know the inside story are all Li Shushi’s absolute confidants, such as
Tuoba Liwei, who was released to the prairie, and Sima Yi, whose presence around Li Shushi is getting more and more important now.
These two are direct descendants, and others such as Jia Kui, Yang Fu, Wang Ling, Wang Chang, Huang Xu and others are also rising political stars within the Bingzhou Army. Basically, they can be classified as Li Shushi's "emperor's disciples"
"group.
Of course, others didn't know the inside story of Su Xiaoluoli's "training class", but Sima Yi knew it very well, so although he didn't tell his father and brothers explicitly, he had already begun to mourn for Yang Xiu in his heart - thinking that he had
Sima Zhongda was also young and frivolous, but it cannot be said to be dissolute.
Unruly, but it can be regarded as contempt for the heroes of the world. As a result, now, Sima Yi knows that he will never be able to get out of a certain shadow in his heart for the rest of his life. However, if the situation does not change significantly, Sima Yi does not think that he can
What's wrong with stepping out of that shadow.
But this will definitely not hinder the physical and mental pleasure that Sima Yi felt after knowing that Yang Xiu, who was also a genius child, joined this legendary "training class". As expected, the greatest happiness is based on the pain of others.
.
It's just that it's impossible for outsiders to know the inside story.
Besides Hongnong and the Yang family, perhaps the most frustrated ones are the two people who are drinking in the big tent now.
The big reason why the war that spread to the entire Xiliang was triggered was that Hou Xuan and Li Kan, who were born in Hedong, were dissatisfied with the rule of Li Guo and the exclusion of these military generals who were not from Xiliang.
Under Xu's instigation, Huang finally succeeded.
When Zhong set foot in the north, he decided to fight back, and also attracted Ma Wan and Cheng Yin, and most importantly, Fan Chou, a veteran of the Xiliang Army who was also squeezed out by Li and Guo. With the help of these internal agents, he
Let the Bingzhou Army quickly disintegrate the Xiliang Army.
After this battle, although Zhang Ji was the prefect of Nanyang, he only had half of the county of Nanyang. However, as the first-line general against Liu Biao, his actual status was almost on the same level as the real two thousand stone state general. He can be regarded as a high-ranking general.
Not very powerful but very powerful.
Fan Chou, a figure who had great influence in the original Xiliang army, took the initiative to defect to the army through the intermediary of Hou Xuan and Li Kan. He also contributed a lot in the subsequent battles, so he got the position of prefect of Anding County after the war. Although
Fan Chou obviously doesn't care about government affairs.
Research, but Li Shushi once hinted to him that he might lead the Wudang Fei Army as General Two Thousand Stones in the future. Cao Chun, the commander of the Wudang Fei Army, would have another appointment. This result is obviously very favorable to Fan Chou.
The appetite of a general who fights bravely.
Isn't it just a three-year term as governor? Fan Chou felt that it would be over if he just endured it, and it would bring glory to the family.
Hou Xuan, Li Kan and Yang Qiu, three generals with low status in the original Xiliang army, are now doing pretty well.
The first two were from Hedong, and they took the initiative to secretly contact the Bingzhou Army. Later, they helped the Bingzhou Army to instigate many generals in the Xiliang Army. It can be said that they have outstanding achievements. Although they are somewhat inferior in ability, they are also properly treated.
Arrangement - Hou Xuan was stationed in Wei County and found a quite prosperous place, while Li Kan was sent to Nanyang, which is also a good place and has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
As for Yang Qiu, because his ability was among the best among the small factions in the Xiliang army, he was assigned to Gao Shun's command. He also performed well in the previous battle with the Xianbei people, not only resisting the generals
Zhenyuan and Putou jointly attacked and found opportunities to counterattack several times, which was quite fruitful. Later, they cooperated with Gao Shun to repel the partial division of the Xianbei West Route Army.
It can be said that, like Li Yun, he was one of the group of people who performed more brilliantly in that battle. Later, he went to Jinyang to accept Li Shushi's reward, and in addition to official positions, he received a large number of financial rewards.
Even if it is an official position, as long as Yang Qiu does not make any major mistakes in the future, he should be promoted in a few years. Even if he cannot lead an army alone, he is still very likely to enter the most elite central military system of the Bingzhou Army.
, under the direct leadership of Li Shushi.
Only Cheng Yin and Ma Wan were thrown into a remote corner of Liangzhou, like forgotten children who could no longer see a bright future and could only muddle along in the biting cold wind and heavy snow. Even so.
Even if they are drunk, no one will really care about them.
In fact, Li Shushi really didn't care about these two guys who were thrown into the corner - in terms of ability, they were not as good as Yang Qiu, in terms of merit, they couldn't compare with the two leading parties, Candidate and Li Kan, in terms of dignity.
They can't even talk about Fan Chou, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Dong Zhuo, in a tacky way. How can you ask Li Shushi to pay attention to such a person with no characteristics at all?
Don't forget that the subordinates trained by Li Shushi's own system, except for the occasional white-eyed wolf, those who come from the direct line of troops must be loyal and loyal, and they must be more capable than those two guys. The most important thing is that the demand is higher than that of those two guys.
Those two guys are few.
If you were a business owner, which kind of employee would you choose?
If these two hadn't finally stood in the right position and served as role models, there probably wouldn't even be such an arrangement.
It is precisely because they are very aware of this that the two of them are so aggrieved now. They even had some other thoughts in their hearts under the instigation of some people, and gradually put those thoughts into actions.
.
"Let me tell you, my General Cheng Yincheng, I have heard about it. Those Bingzhou people wanted to recruit troops from our Xiliang, but they recruited for a long time without any results. But why did it change when you recruited troops?
It’s so easy. Every time you gather all the young men from a village and lock them in a hut, it doesn’t take long before most of them join your team.”
At this time, Ma Wan's face was red from drinking, and his words were a little unclear. However, Cheng Yin on the side didn't look much better. The two of them could be considered rivals at the wine table and would meet a good talent. Who would they meet?
They won't fall down first. Because of this, even if Ma Wan's name is a little too much, Cheng Yin, who is also drunk, doesn't care. Anyway, they are both about the same, and they have accumulated too much in their hearts.
There is so much depression, and now it’s actually quite good to have a place to vent it out.
Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Cheng Yin must play with the horse to start a rebellion...probably.
"Haha, who am I? I'm a genius! How can my genius Cheng Yin be like those people from Bingzhou who are at a loss when encountering the slightest difficulty? We have ways to deal with those ignorant and disobedient villagers.
method."
"Oh~ It can't be murder. This method is not good, too dangerous, too dangerous. It's okay for one or two villages, just scare it. It's easy to deal with. But if it is used too much, you also know that we have
Liang Ren's temper will definitely lead to trouble!"
"Hahahaha, so Brother Ma, you are just like those Bingzhou people. You are too rigid and do not use your brain. Naturally, you cannot deal with those people."
"Hey, Brother Cheng is teaching me a lesson. Isn't this my younger brother asking for advice? I also want to expand the team a little bit more."
"It's easy to talk, we are brothers. Brothers, you know, since we are brothers, you should be your brother's guide and guide in this matter. Well, it is also what you should do. And you will definitely be able to do it if you listen, but you don't listen.
It’s absolutely impossible to guess.”
"Oh oh oh~ Brother said it so powerfully, even just to this extent I am already confused."
"I haven't said anything yet, why are you so confused?"
"Yes, yes, brother, look at me, I am so stupid. If brother says something, I will get dizzy."
"It's really worrying. Well, let me tell you what is the best way to deal with those disobedient villagers."
After drinking another glass of slightly scalding warm wine, Cheng Yin's drunken face gained a disdainful smile.
"We Xiliang people have a stubborn temper. Sometimes if you try to persuade him sincerely, he will feel that he is great and always feel that you are three points shorter than him. But if you change the approach, you provoke him and make him feel
If you actually disdain him, he will be angry again. At this time, you can make a bet with him and make a handicap.
He thought it was a bit difficult but not a bet that he couldn't lose. That's what I did. As a result, those idiots lost to me one after another. As for the few remaining winners, I had achieved my goal anyway.
, and the targets of their ridicule are destined to be the majority who lose, so just let them go."
"Brother is really amazing. He can think of so many gambling methods, but I can't think of any of them."
"Haha, in fact, your brother and I can't come up with too many ideas most of the time. But those country people are not smart, and I have an army on hand. As long as I have a sensible idea, I can deal with everyone. It won't be a big deal for this village.
If it doesn’t work, replace it with another one.”
"What can I do!"
"Simple. I rushed all the young men into the biggest house in the village, and then asked people to put a hot bed inside. I said to those country people, 'I bet you can't stand the temperature of the hot bed. Who will be the first?"
Stand up, anyone will follow me, I won’t
It's hard for those heroes and heroes, as long as the half can't stand a little bit of hot cowards. Then I have people add firewood to the fire pit, not to mention half, even more than half will be burned in the end and they will jump and scream.
Yell, surrender obediently!"
"Haha, brother, you are so awesome. You actually thought of using this method to deal with those barbarians in the countryside. What a great idea, what a great idea! It's such a relief!"
"This is nothing. More relief is yet to come."
"Oh oh oh~" I always feel that Ma Wan only seems to have this inexplicable burning appearance now.
"I don't know if those officials from Bingzhou are imitating that hypocrite Li Xue, but everyone is dressed extremely plainly. How can they look like me, with my bright armor and cloak, and my washed Zeng Mingwaliang hair?"
War horse, guess what happened."
"What happened? Is it possible that those Bingzhou people still dare to accuse eldest brother?"
"Hmph! It's not Li Xue's turn to control what clothes I wear, let alone his minions! But what makes me most angry is the reaction of the villagers. They actually think that I, a well-dressed person, should be...
Big shots from Bingzhou. And that group of people
The guy wearing ordinary clothes and looking like a man with a lot of travels was regarded by the ignorant villagers as a strong man who ran out of nowhere... Hahahaha, didn't you see those two groups of people biting each other?
It’s so ridiculous!”
"Relieve the anger, really relieve the anger! Dog bites dog, it's a hairy mouth. Hahahaha!!!"
"Look, these are those self-righteous villagers. They are all like this. It's so ridiculous!"
"That's right, with Big Brother's intelligence, those villagers are completely under Big Brother's control! As long as Big Brother gets into trouble, I believe there will be many villagers who will fall under Big Brother's deception, guidance, yes, guidance.
For our use!”
"Hahahaha, come on, come on, let's do it for the success we are about to achieve!"
"Done!!!"
"So this is the problem we are encountering in Xiliang today. There is a lack of understanding of local customs and habits. Some officials deal with the problem in a mechanical way, while others are eager for quick success. As a result, many rural areas in Xiliang have
The situation is a bit chaotic now, and there are even a lot of dumbfounding jokes happening."
"For example, the method of burning a fire bed to recruit soldiers?"
"It doesn't stop there. According to our investigation, such a chaotic situation even caused some young men who had a good impression of our army and intended to join our army to end up with Cheng Yin. There were even brothers who joined the army, but because of
My brother went to the latrine and asked one of the two brothers to follow Cheng Yin and the other to join our troops."
"I understand, this issue is very important. In the past, the Xiliang area was always restless. Of course, it was because the Han Dynasty was not ruthless enough in the suppression of the rebellious aliens, but the pacification work after the suppression was also not adequate, so that those Xiliang people could either obtain
I had too many unexpected surprises, or I had to endure the oppression and exploitation of those black-hearted bureaucrats, and as a result, I became the capricious person I am today."
"What a pity..." Li Shushi scratched his head and looked at Jia Xu's back and sighed heavily, "Even in the era of extremely developed communication in modern society, ethnic issues are still quite difficult, and things like corruption are even more difficult.
Just like leeks in the field, it doesn't take long for the new ones to grow well after cutting one, which is really a headache."
"Since it's leeks in the ground, it's better to cut off one new crop after a while and continue to cut off the new ones that grow."
"I know this too, but it's just that I always have to deal with the same work, which makes me a little bored."
"Hmm~ If this kind of problem was really so easy to solve, it wouldn't be your turn to be in the position you are now, right?"
"Yes, for people like me, troubled times are really a good time. But Tamago-chan, can you lend me your knee to give me a pillow?"
